Scalable access to shared files in a distributed system

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1892581

Logic may pre-populate cache of compute nodes allocated to a user's session. Logic may access an image file of a global filesystem, the image file to comprise a first set of one or more files associated with a user session and a second set of one or more files upon which execution of the first set will depend. Logic may store the image file in local data storage of each compute node of a spanning tree of compute nodes allocated for the user session. Logic may unpack the image file based on the data. Logic may configure the local environment of each compute node in the spanning tree to identify a location in local memory of each of the files. And logic may initiate execution of a local filesystem service in each of the compute nodes of the spanning tree.
